Beautiful shot

A close up picture of a Mute Swan in side profile. The bird is amongst some flooded reeds in the strong sunshine, its head has just emerged from the water and a bead of water is running from its beak to the lake. The reeds are lit up in the sunshine and the swans wet beak is glistening in the sunshine

🪶 For #Swanday I have this beautiful Mute Swan feeding in the flooded reeds in the glorious evening sun.

The West of Ireland still has a strong population of red squirrels; the greys haven’t spread this far

I know that pain Bill; I think they do it on purpose!

One of my favourites Audrey; especially when they arrive in big flocks in winter. Their Irish name translates as “the flame of the forest”, which I think is a beautiful description

Great Shots
